Collard Greens & Cornbread
Fantasia · Back To Me [2010]
Yesterday I cursed you and told you that I was thru
But today I'm with you
Ain't that some love
Tomorrow you might hate me and find you somebody new
But today I'm with you
Ain't that some love
Ain gon lie, boy you got me out of my mind in L.O.V.E
I go crazy when you love me
Got me acting a mess
Even got the nerve to say I'm better than my momma
Collard greens and cornbread yea [repeat]
[Verse 2]
I never put up with bs from anyone
But I take it from you
Ain't that some love
And I never had no one put me through what you do
But as long as it's you
That's some real love
Oh ain gon lie, boy you got me out of my mind in L.O.V.E.
I go crazy when you love me
Got me acting a mess
Even got the nerve to say I'm better than my momma
Collard greens and cornbread yea [repeat]
Baby
And you're my sweet potato pie
Sugar
You know you are
Oh.....
Sugar
And I can't get enough of you
Boy I'm crazy bout what you do
Ain gon lie, boy you got me out of my mind in l.o.v.e
I go crazy when you love me
Got me acting a mess
Even got the nerve to say I'm better than my momma
Collard greens and cornbread yea [4x]
